Definitions

  • the invention relates to a goods detection device for self-service cash register systems with a arranged at a goods detection point scanning device for reading goods arranged on goods containing a bordered in a bottom surface of the goods detection area first scanner by means of which the goods moved in a preferred direction from below are readable, and one above the Floor arranged, upright second scanner, by means of which the goods moved in the preferred direction goods are readable from one side. Furthermore, the invention relates to a self-service cash system.
  • the scanning device is arranged together with an information-indicating display device and a payment device in a common housing, which forms a goods detection device. So that an operation of the goods detection device not only is possible from one side, but also from an opposite side, the known goods detection devices are arranged pivotable about a vertical axis of rotation.
  • the self-service cash register system can be operated by a customer on the one hand and by a cashier on the other hand after 180 ° rotation.
